Backwards Thinking: Triggering A Fight-Or-Flight Stress Response From Toxic Dark Chocolate To Feel Better

Here we go again with the incredible imbeciles at T-Nation (Chris Shugart) and their ever repeating snakeoil tactics to sell you toxic and totally worthless supplements.  This time they’re promoting unhealthy dark chocolate and their similar supplement to feed unnatural gut bacteria to produce something we normally produce ourselves. Well, let’s see what nonsense the little monkey spat out this time. If a five is “extremely down” but they’re only four points, I guess […]

Disrupting Your Circadian Rhythm Will Increase The Risk For All Kinds Of Health Problems

Recently the shills at Medical News Today posted an article based on new research on the topic of exercise and our circadian rhythm. Although most of this should be common sense, let’s see what they actually got right and what they didn’t (or simply ignored to tell you.) “Over the past few years, researchers have come to have a better understanding of how the body’s circadian rhythm impacts overall health.” Really? Most of this

Gestational Diabetes Proves Humans Are Obligate Hyper Carnivores

This fine morning we once again return to the shills at Examine.com and a summary of a really stupid and useless study. However, it did present an opportunity to shed some of my understanding on the subject of hormones and gestational diabetes, as supported by mastering biology, physiology and biochemistry. Quick Summary In this 8-week randomized controlled trial in women with gestational diabetes in China, some really stupid researchers had 62 poor pregnant women

The Accumulated Damage From Daily Caffeine Use

Although it is simple biochemistry and physiology, caffeine and other similar compounds remain some of the most misunderstood poisons within nutrition and “sports performance science.”While I’ve covered caffeine in depth in previous articles such as “Caffeine is a Defense Chemical and a Potent Poison — Do Not Neglect Accumulated Damage,” this randomized controlled trial, as summarized by Examine.com, gave me another opportunity to expand on the subject and explain some more of their faulty

The Silly Myth About Low Body Fat And A Decrease In Testosterone

One of the most retarded myths in “sports science” and the backwards “fitness community” is that achieving a very low body fat will tank your hormones, especially testosterone. This misconception stems from the obvious effects of extremely restrictive, mainstreamed and retarded diets used to achieve these levels of leanness, which should be common sense. Heck, I already understood this when I began working in the industry over 35 years ago. Now, the supplement-pushers and

Our Natural Non-Carb And High-Animal Fat Diet Will Boost Your Testosterone

A few days ago, Chris Shugart of T-Nation once again made a complete fool of himself when he tried to tackle the topic of “fasted morning lifting and potential muscle loss” and could not even differentiate between deceived unhealthy people consuming carbohydrates and running on a glucose metabolism and those who are healthy running on our natural fat metabolism, as in being in ketosis. This time T-Nation tried to explore the topic of “low-carb”

Fasted Morning Lifting Is Only Bad If You F**ked Up Your Diet And Metabolism

Today we’ll look at another great example of the huge problem of people being deceived into believing that consuming carbohydrates and running on a toxic and damaging glucose metabolism is normal and natural when, in fact, humans are made to run on a fat metabolism while being in ketosis. And unfortunately, this big misconception (fraud) is reflected in almost any “nutritional” study ever conducted, as it simply means that every participant is, or has

Stupidity 101: Stimulants (Guarana) Reduce Perceived Fatigue

Ready for a good laugh? Well, you better be as we return to Examine.com and a summary of another totally meaningless and seriously stupid meta-analysis of guarana and its effects on “cancer-related fatigue.” What was studied? “The effect of supplementation with guarana on fatigue symptoms in the context of cancer.” Well, fatigue is fatigue no matter the “condition” causing that fatigue. And cancer is simply a desperate measure by the body to extend your
